OOM in JUnit in result processing

[Steve Loughran <st...@apache.org>]

Anyone else seen this; Ant's JUnit test runner going OOM on a test?

The line in question is just printing out the test run report; it must 
have been too big for the JVM:
                 out.write(sb.toString().getBytes());

I'll file a bugrep with Ant but a fix won't show up until release 1.7.2
